one of those posts that made me wanna yell "huzzah!!" but I don't yell that (not a lot, anyway)

Finished a fic late last night and posted it today after a quick self-beta:

like a journey i just don't have a map for (1398 words)
Fandom: Power Rangers: Ninja Storm
Rating: Teen
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Hunter Bradley/Cameron Watanabe
Summary: Cam gets drunk, and tries to sleep with Hunter. It kinda doesn't work out for him that way.
Notes: Written for [community profile] smallfandomfest for fest10. For the prompt: Power Rangers, Ninja Storm, Cam/Hunter, morning after

I had wanted to write for this prompt many, many moons ago (alright - more like two fests or something-like-that ago). But then I could never write the beginning I wanted, and then this fic ended up being rewritten three times before it ever really was even finished so of course it's taken me like half a year or something to totally complete it and post it.

I like it now - as much as I like anything that I produce creatively (which is not very much - I'm sure, a month or two from now, I'll be embarrassed to remember I wrote this - my insecurities, ladies and gents).

BUT YAYYYYYYYY FINALLY IT'S FINISHED! *crosses off one fic, two more to go*

*celebrates*

I had also considered titling this "At the bottom of the bottle" but I don't know. And then I happened to be listening to Savage Garden in the background when I was finishing up and decided to steal the title from their lyrics.

Of course I was totally right about a theory I have and this thing that keeps happening to me where if I leave a story hanging in the middle of writing it, I have SUCH a hard time getting back to it. Like. So much difficulty, it's unbelievable.

I started writing this fic on Christmas Day, and I got through 977 words in one sitting. Then I left to do something, don't remember now, maybe to go eat or something (or to play Bejeweled), and when I got back to it, I had no idea how to continue. I hate when that happens - I make a good headway on a story and then I leave it for awhile to go do other things and when I come back to it, it's like I haven't looked at the story in YEARS (when - in reality - it's only been several hours at the most).

I always say I want to finish writing at least three prompts for the fest, but then January 31st comes around and I've like written one or none. Really, really hope I can break that trend this year.
